What superpower do you have?
I know what you're thinking. You don't believe you have a superpower. But that's only because what is actually a superpower is something that you've been taught is commonplace. Or, you don't think of it as special.
Frequently, while at work, a student will have technical difficulties. I will approach offering help. And suddenly their computer will work. They'll swear up and down that it wasn't working, but as soon as I arrived...
I assure them that I believe them. (Students who are just goofing off give off a whole different kind of energy.) I can just... make things work. Not always. But frequently enough that it no longer surprises me.
So, what about you? What is something that just kind of works for you or comes easily to you that doesn't to others?
My husband says one superpower of mine is flower identification. That's kind of funny following upon your previous post. lol I am a good listener and think I'd be a decent grief counselor. Be well!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I could have used you to label the plants for that last post. (Although if I had truly wanted to label them, I could have figured it out.)
DeleteInvisibility. No one ever notices me, especially when I'm next in line or trying to get by someone.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of loose dogs in our town. (Not strays, but not fenced or leashed.) My superpower is making them stop and their gate and not chase me. All I have to do is give them The Look. It's marvelous.
ReplyDeleteThat's great. I wish I had that one. Dogs make me nervous, so that's likely why I don't.
DeleteMy super power needs an accomplice app to work. Youtube! I can fix a lot of things, like magic, but only because of my alliance with super power granting app youtube and the army of DIYers.
ReplyDeleteHey, there are plenty of people who can't fix anything even with sufficient instructions, so that is truly a great superpower.
Deletehaha that is a good superpower to have.
ReplyDeleteMy family (all three in the IT industry) considers me the google wizard. I can search for things on the internet faster than any of them!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it counts as a superpower, but I'm usually pretty good at telling if someone is cheating on their significant other. There's just something about the way they act. One example, I told Nick someone was cheating on his wife after we saw them at an event. Nick was convinced I was wrong. About a year and a half later, it came out that the guy had been having multiple affairs for years.
ReplyDeleteObviously, I don't go around sharing that information with anyone other than Nick since it's not based on any kind of proof or evidence.
Yes, that counts, especially if you're always right. I wonder if you can tell about people having other secrets. You might be a bit of a human lie detector.
